There was dead silence. Everyone looked at the Human Emperor in the sky with shock and fear.
Even though they were all First Rated Swordsmen, they could not imagine how terrifying the Human Emperor was.
The sword curse earlier had completely shocked everyone with the strength of the Human Emperor. They did not dare to act rashly again.
The Human Emperor stood high in the sky with disdain in his eyes. An unparalleled aura of an emperor filled the air.
Then, the Human Emperor briefly explained the Holy Land of Acheron so that everyone could have a general understanding of where they were.
After listening to the Human Emperor's explanation, everyone expressed their disbelief.
"So this place is called the Holy Land of Acheron. Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"According to the Human Emperor, the Flower of Acheron can help a swordsman to comprehend the way of the sword. This is amazing."
"It's true that the Flower of Acheron can help a swordsman comprehend the way of the sword. The risk must be extremely high. I'm afraid that not many people here can successfully comprehend the way of the sword."
The crowd was in a heated discussion.
It was the first time for most of them to come to the Holy Land of Acheron. Before this, they had no idea that there was such a mysterious place in the world.
"Everyone, please be quiet." The Human Emperor waited for the crowd to calm down before he continued, "As you said, there is a great risk in comprehending the way of the sword in Acheron. I might as well tell you that the chance of success in comprehending the way of the sword in Acheron is very small. Once it fails, the swordsman will be imprisoned by the Flower of Acheron and be slowly devoured."
"This …" The crowd could not help but gasp. They did not expect that the price of failure in comprehending the way of the sword in Acheron would be his life.
The Human Emperor glanced across the crowd. An invisible majesty silenced the crowd. He said, "The risk of comprehending the way of the sword in Acheron is great, but the reward is also great. As long as one can comprehend the way of the sword in Acheron, the swordsman's sword will will have a qualitative improvement. More importantly, a swordsman who can comprehend the way of the sword through Acheron will definitely be able to reach the legendary state of One with the Sword! "
"One with the Sword!" The crowd exclaimed again when they heard these words.
They were all First Rated Swordsmen and naturally understood what One with the Sword meant.
These four simple words completely stirred up everyone's emotions.
The Human Emperor had expected such a reaction from the crowd. He smiled faintly and continued, "Everyone, please calm down. Not everyone is qualified to participate in the Acheron Sword Enlightenment. Every time the Acheron Sea of Swords opens, the number of Acheron Flowers is limited. Therefore, if you want to participate in the Acheron Sea of Swords, you need to have extraordinary strength and talent. "
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed, and they couldn't help but look around.
In their hearts, they understood that the people around them would all become their opponents.
"Lord Human Emperor, how can I participate in the Acheron Sword Comprehension? Just tell me," someone couldn't help but shout out.
The Human Emperor smiled faintly and said, "For this Acheron enlightenment, I plan to divide it into four stages. The first stage is the opening of Acheron; the second stage is the Acheron Sword Chant; the third stage is the struggle of Acheron; and the fourth stage is the enlightenment of Acheron."
The crowd was dumbfounded. They could not quite understand what the Human Emperor meant.
"The opening of Acheron Flower isn't something that can be done by one person alone. Everyone needs to work together to activate the sword will of Acheron Flower. " The Human Emperor said calmly, "So, in the first stage, I will choose hundreds of swordsmen who are at the level of Sword Martial Artists and Saint Defier. Then, they will work together to activate Acheron Flower."
The crowd nodded. They had no objections.
"In the second stage, Acheron Sword Chant, we will use the Acheron Monument to test the swordsmen's sword will. If their sword will can't make the Acheron Monument let out a sword chant, it means that the swordsman doesn't have the right to participate in the Acheron Sea of Swords and will be eliminated. "The swordsmen who participated in the opening of Acheron Flower don't have to participate in Acheron Sword Chant. They can directly enter the struggle of Acheron," the Human Emperor continued explaining.
The crowd nodded again. They had no objections.
Nie Tian looked at the Human Emperor and agreed to the first two stages he had arranged.
However, if the third stage of the struggle for Acheron was a fight between swordsmen, he would not stand a chance at all.
There were only hundreds of Acheron Flowers, and there were hundreds of swordsmen who were at the level of Sword Martial Artists and Saint Defier. If it was a normal fight, the ones who had the right to comprehend the sword in Acheron Sea of Swords would definitely be powerful warriors.
However, these powerful warriors' talent in the path of the sword might not be the best, because many of them were already very old. In fact, there were even some old men who had one foot in the grave. Their strength was completely gained through accumulation.
"As the name suggests, the third stage of the struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords is a fight between swordsmen." The Human Emperor's voice rose into the air again, and he said in a clear voice, "But the way they fight is slightly different, because Acheron Sea of Swords pays more attention to a swordsman's talent, not his strength. So, I suggest that all swordsmen who participate in the struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords must suppress their realms below the ninth level of Sword Heavenly Disaster. "
Once he finished speaking, he immediately caused a ruckus. Some people were happy, while others were worried.
"The struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords requires a swordsman's talent. This sort of competition is much fairer." The swordsman who was slightly weaker was clearly very happy.
However, the swordsmen who were at the level of Sword Martial Artists and Saint Defier burst into an uproar. They were all furious.
"In the struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords, those who are stronger will naturally win. What sort of rule is it to force others to suppress their strength?"
"That's right. We were the ones who activated the Acheron Sea of Swords. Who else has the right to participate in the struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords other than us?"
"That's absolutely impossible! Since we are strong, why should we compete with these youngsters in terms of sword will? "
The Human Emperor did not react much in the face of the doubts and anger. Instead, he looked at the crowd with an indifferent expression.
He had long since expected this to happen, which was why he was not in a hurry.
After a while, when the crowd had calmed down a little, the Human Emperor spoke again. "The struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords focuses on the understanding of sword will. If you do not have enough talent in sword will and your talent in the Dao of the Sword, entering the Acheron Sea of Swords will be the same as courting death. "If you cannot win against others who are at the same level as you, then it proves that your talent in sword will is not enough! My suggestion might seem like it is to suppress you, but in truth, it is for your own good. "
The crowd looked at the Human Emperor, and they became even more agitated.
"You make it sound so nice. We are strong, so why can't we participate in the struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords?"
"Today, I will participate in the struggle for Acheron Sea of Swords. Let's see who dares to stop me!"
"No matter how strong you are, you are just one person. You are too naive to think that you can suppress others with your power."
His calm voice faded away, but it did not manage to make the powerful warriors calm down. In fact, some of them even looked as if they were about to attack.
The Human Emperor's gaze focused slightly, and a chilling glare shone in his eyes. He took a cold step forward, and a great and boundless sword pressure was released to press down on the crowd with a loud bang.
In an instant, hundreds of swordsmen at the level of Saint Defier sensed the great sword pressure, and their expressions changed.
They wanted to fight back, but they discovered that the sword will in their bodies had been completely suppressed, and they could not release it at all!
"How is this possible?" The crowd's faces were filled with shock and fear as they stared at the Human Emperor.
Nie Tian also frowned at that moment. He was puzzled.
